Decksaver DS-PC-APUSH2 Protective Cover for Ableton Push 2 - Durable Dust & Scratch Shield for Music Production & Live Performances

I use the Push 2 occasionally in music production with Live, and because of it’s form factor, Push has a more or less permanent place on my desk. While I’m working, though, so does my cat. She has long hair and sheds a lot, especially now in the Spring. I didn’t think I’d really need a cover for it, but as I watched the cat walk over or (shudder) on top of the Push, I realized this would lead to a mess and possibly shorten the life of the controller with hair and debris getting between the case and the pads. While researching the options, Decksaver seemed to be the only ready-made cover that precisely fit the device. I don’t have time to build a DIY solution, and I don’t want to use the bulky original packaging, having packing foam sitting on my desk. The Decksaver is somewhat flexible, but sturdy, and fits the Push 2 perfectly, covering it precisely and not overly tightly, with openings around the power and cable areas in the back. It covers the sides and leaves room to protect the knobs on top of the Push. All of the above are important because when kitty (9 lbs.) steps on top of it, it doesn’t slip off. For what it is, it does feel a bit pricey, especially when comparing to my turntable which included its cover. But it’s made in England, if that matters to you, and it does feel sturdy enough. I’ve always felt a bit ridiculous shelling out for cases, stands, and covers for gear that often are quite pricey themselves. But I decided it’s better to protect all that expensive and beloved music equipment, which I will likely have for many years. If I wanted to sell it eventually, it will be in better condition. Overall, it’s worth it for the peace of mind alone.
